ICS Passion V11 Review

I've been running version 11 since it was released, and I must say that it is the best version I've run so far, and I've run all of them from the very beginning :D

I have not had a single force close or problem with is so far. My battery life is the best I've had yet. I am easily getting 18 hours out of a charge, and I am on my phone all day listening to music, browsing the web, texting/chatting. In other words, my phone is not a paper weight. GPS locked on just fine, and afterwards deep sleep was accomplished just fine without a reboot. GPS wouldn't lock on after deep sleep and required reboot to work again, but I've had this issue with every ROM I've ever tried on Vibrant. I haven't run into the Mute/Unmute bug yet, but I've only made calls and not received any as of yet.

My phone doesn't lockup, lag, randomly reboot or force close at all.

Bottom line - If you are wondering because of all the negative feedback on V11, It's working amazingly for me!! Neo says that it isnt mandatory, but wiping is always recommended. When you are flashing ROM's back and forth, strange things can happen. So if you are having trouble, try wiping and flashing fresh! And really guys, if you don't like the font, just install a new one, there are several free apps in the marketplace that allow you to do this...

do we have otg enabled? plan to get a otg cable, will it work with our rom?
[Vibrant Android Development] Jon Po:
It's true, why do people complain so much about what works and what doesn't?

The ROM is still in its beta stage and the fact that ICS runs so smooth with very little to no hiccups( reboots, freezing up, etc)is amazing. My GPS has been running great since v11, it didn't work for **** in the prior versions which means Neo is on the right path to a complete and stable ROM.

People don't complain, instead give ideas on how to make the ROM better and talk about certain issues that may or may not pertain to this ROM. Throw the DEV a few bucks too, it'll help speed up development and get a better quality ROM. Nothing in this world is free, not even the air we breath.( ex. Clean air act)
[Vibrant Android Development] noakcess:
I was so waiting for the update....!!! you guys rock.....
[Vibrant Android Development] Jon Po:
That's great to hear, I tried mine a few times yesterday and it worked 100 times better than in v10.6 no offense Neo. I am too stubborn to go and by an actual GPS unit so I depend on my phone a lot. Navigating through New York City is a damn nightmare but Google maps and navigation work so well for me in the city. Neo is the man, I hope he was able to get a new computer.
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
Mute/Unmute bug still around?
[Vibrant Android Development] vahdyx:
I'm running 10.6 and it lags here and there but I love it. No major issues. Great daily driver, but now I see there's a v11 out and looks like I need to try it.

I will flash it when I get home. Or is there an easy way to do it while at work?

Looks like auto brightness is not working correctly on v11

Battery

Ok, this ROM is great, i have never better GPS lock (i need to reboot phone first, but that's not new thing), great interface.

Only problem that i have is battery. Last night it was on charger all night (11hrs) i rebooted phone and after 2 hours battery droped to 56%. I tried to calibrate battery three times, phone goes to deep sleep, Governor is ondemad, I/O scheduler is deadline, wi-fi is off, GPS is off, locations is off. I'm running v11 and don't know what to do with battery (i got 21hrs only once on version 10.6) :confused::confused:

P.S few other bugs: lousy signal at work only one bar (on cm7 i had full), twice i coludn't answer call.
[Vibrant Android Development] pault949:
Neo,

Just sent you a couple bucks. Hope you can get over your computer troubles soon.

Thanks for all the hard work. You have made the Vibrant a viable phone again.

-Paul
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
Is the frakin incoming call mute/unmute issue still present!?
[Vibrant Android Development] _d4ni3l:
Hey guys, thanks a lot for an awesome ROM!

It even works on Samsung i9000. The device is basically the same as Vibrant, the only difference is i9000 has that hard home button instead of sensor buttons. So the ROM and the Kernel works like a charm on my i9000 except just this one little thing: home button doesn't work and thus I can't minimize apps as well as open running apps list.

Would someone be so kind to adapt the ROM for Samsung i9000, or make a patch to get the home key working? Of course if you guys have a little bit of your precious time.

Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
After flashing V11, my GPS will not lock on!!! What are the best settings to get the best GPS lock possible??
[Vibrant Android Development] jsparakov:
Reboot your phone and try the GPS immediately before putting your phone on idle and report back.
[Vibrant Android Development] dpaul007:
GPS works fine for me without changing a thing. I'll test it again after work when I get home, though.

No deep sleep after charging is still an issue for me on v11. A restart resolves it. Anyone else confirm?
[Vibrant Android Development] TFordham:
Yes.
[Vibrant Android Development] chadhoard:
K...I did that & was able to get 4, but I am at work. I will try it again when I leave. Should I reboot again when I leave?

Any suggestion on settings?

I use this instead. Easier to install among ROMs.

No.

See post 7916 Thoexl is the dev for this mod and he has moved on to the Nexus

OMG!so, where can i find this mod after he moved on to th Nexus? Sorry about my English! ^^!
[Vibrant Android Development] solera:
I have the same problem... I recharge overnight and it will only go to somewhere around 93. I have done a battery calibration and everything else I can think of. Anyone else have this problem or a fix??

Thanks in advance
[Vibrant Android Development] papa.steve:
As I said in my edit to post, the mod has been handed over to another developer and we should have the mod in due course.
[Vibrant Android Development] Jon Po:
TV out upgraded

In the change log it says "TV Out upgraded" does that mean the use of an MHL to HDMI adapter is possible or is that new hardware? Is the use of the 3.5mm RCA plugs the only method of TV out? I remember when the Vibrant first released it said it would be compatible with a micro SD to hdmi cable after a software upgrade and that was on Samsungs official site, what the hell ever happened to that idea. DLNA on my phone sucks with out the original All-share app from the stock Eclair 2.1 ROM. All other DLNA apps play music and photos OK but video is very choppy using imediashare and all other apps. Not complaining one bit just curious if using an MHL to HDMI adapter is possible on the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] rhay:
Rom is great. I reinstalled it again from scractch and use V11. it is very stable and smooth... GPS works right away but after deep sleep it stop working. Hope we have a fix for the GPS soon.... ROM is amazing.
[Vibrant Android Development] Raistline:
Quick update with moving from V10.6 to V11.

When coming to this version I did my usual of Odin back to stock, factory reset, flash ICS V11, (doing this you have to flash V11, reboot and go back into Recovery and Flash again as first flash only loads Recovery since you will be coming from stock).

Once V11 is installed wait 15 minutes after initial bootup screen is live. Login to to accounts remove unwanted apps through Titanium, Reboot. Wait 5 minutes then install apps and finally reboot again after all new apps are installed and wait 5 more minutes. I At this time I turn of GPS when rebooting so the process isn't stuck and taking battery away.

My experiences so far are as follows. The bug where FB runs in Keep Alive mode draining battery is finally gone after new Market install. My battery only drained 5% overnight (9 hours of deep sleep).

The battery is now simply amazing.

I have not had a single app FC and everything runs smoothly. (Don't forget to periodically "wipe" away running/cached apps).

GPS works great and even after hours of deep sleep can be re-activated. If you reboot with GPS radio on you can you can turn the radio off and turn it back on without having to reboot again. If you want to run it this way please note that there is a small resident process that allows this function and you will lose a couple hours worth of battery life from my experience.

Gallery Picasa synch works wonderfully and Gallery image loading is much faster than on V10.6. Big improvement in Gallery.

Google Music app now takes up less battery when streaming music. I only lose about 3% an hour with this where other apps like Pandora, and DI.FM take about 10% an hour streaming.

The only issue with V11 is that if you have more than 550MB of internal installed apps on device you get Low Disc Space warning. I normally have about 800Mb of installed apps so I had to spend a lot of time moving them to SD. V10.6 allowed up to 650MB internal.

My current battery stats are as follows (sorry no screenie). I have a 1800mAh battery

25% left with 20h6m.

This is with 1 hour of streaming through Google Music

45Mins of streaming through Tune-in radio.

40mins of streaming with DI.FM through BT to my car stereo.

1 hour 40mins of streaming through Pandora also using BT to connect to car stereo.

and a total of 1 hour 30m of my screen being on. This has taken 34% battery

The above battery stats are actually a little more than my usual usage for screen on time as I had to spend a lot of time moving apps to SD. My last battery cycle ran 1D14H with about 4-5 hours of music streaming in total.

I am running stock launcher with FB notifactions turned off as when I have them on I lose more than 4 hours of battery even at 1 hour sync intervals.

Hopes this info helps anyone who is on the edge of deciding.

I don't know, but that would be awesome. I had read that as well, and I have a friend with a Infuse 4G which has a lot of the same guts as our Vibrant and he has the Micro USB to HDMI, so I would think it would be possible..
[Vibrant Android Development] granduke:
This is encouraging.

Have you tried a longer deep sleep as well?

Longest I have tried has been 2 hours with success. Have not yet tried an overnight escapade.

I've had this problem on earlier versions and just started turning off the speakerphone or press mute while I press the buttons. I think it's picking up the tones through the mic and that's causing the problem. If you're not on speakerphone then I have no idea...

datadata partition is removed due to some problems in alpha 7.

You need to wait that long only on First Boot.
[Vibrant Android Development] defconoi:
what type of problems? Any way to fix them, the datadata partition is way faster than data, this is probably the lag I am experiencing after syncing everything
[Vibrant Android Development] bearsfan85:
i dont want to sound like someone asking for ETA's but you said you were working on a few things, you expecting to update tonight or tomorrow morning, also a few people have asked about usb mounting and I didnt see that answered and I cant figure it out either.

[Vibrant Android Development] muleyman:
Overall it's running well. GPS isn't working for me. Looks like it tries to initialize and then quits. I messed with the config in Angry GPS to match what I had luck with on Froyo/GB ROMs without any luck. I can connect the phone via Bluetooth to my car stereo and they both think that phone and media are connected. Tested the phone and it works. I can't get music to play through the stereo, though. Google Music and another player I downloaded both play through the external speaker instead of the stereo. I connected my phone to another Vibrant, (Froyo), and pushed a pic via bluetooth successfully. I can take pics and panorama pics. Camcorder seems to start recording but the button doesn't work to stop recording and you end up having to close out the program. I can play videos that I previously recorded and videos on youtube. If anyone can think of something I might have missed for either BT or GPS please let me know. Getting closer all the time. Nice work!

If you're talking about being able to access your SD cards via your computer the only way I've been able to do that was to mount them while in Recovery... but that works and you can move files around that way for now.
[Vibrant Android Development] enzomtrx:
I didn't try v6, but after installing and configuring to my norm, everything seems quite smooth. I noticed a lot of slowness during the first hour but now its hardly noticeable. Had to put titanium backup into interactive mode and install apps one by one but so far each has worked without fail. I'm loving this so far!

Great work devs! This is great for an alpha build, still a lot of bugs, but still very usable indeed. Thank you all for your time and effort. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] neobuddy89:
That's kernel issue. I don't have kernel expertise yet.

The kernel gets renewed with services/scripting every now and then to make things work in ICS in alpha releases.

So as even Kernel Devs can't release ICS Kernels out separately.
[Vibrant Android Development] xavyi:
If you flash, reboot and try to move things from the home screen, it'll spam crash on you.

Quickfix: reboot into recovery, wipe data, reboot, let it sit, reboot for the last time, then everything should be working perfect (minus what was stated to not be working previously).

hope this helped.

I love ICS, so many settings, great widgets, what more can you ask for?!

Gps seems to track your location, but it seems to have a difficult time routing you or giving directions. The turn by turn doesn't work, but it'll still give you the start to finish via details found in the navigation settings.

Another small thing I noticed, when using latitude, the back forward arrows while in map mode to navigate between closest to furthest -latitude- friends doesn't work.

...and of course, thanks to all the devs!

[Vibrant Android Development] thepapax:
Some people here complaining about usability and multiple errors SHOULD really look for what ALPHA and BETA releases means... And chill out a bit...

The main idea is to report errors that could be useful information for developers, and to improve the ROM until it is ready for a release candidate you can trust on a daily use... So meanwhile let's test it! And READ THE FIRST POST and stop repeating errors which the guys developing this ROM already know!

Peace!
[Vibrant Android Development] jrosarioaz:
Unfortunately guys its a guessing game with these vibrants. Why some people have problems and others do is a guessing game. Thats why the developers are hit and miss with these roms. I tried the I9000 here as well and i had nothing but problems with it. This ROM it seems to have everything working for me so far, if it doesnt then maybe you will have to go back to the version that works for you. Not complaining but hoping everyone understands that we will always have issues unfortunately

[Vibrant Android Development] Vegastouch:
Go into recovery and flash zip from sd card
[Vibrant Android Development] Raistline:
I suggest you Odin stock, factory wipe then re-flash V11.

I know setup can be a pain but it is worth it for a smooth running system.

Think of it as being the same as Installing Windows on your computer.

If you try to upgrade Windows Me to Windows 7 using upgrade option you will have all sorts of issues. But if you complete a fresh install of Windows 7 it will be smooth as butter (as much as windows is smooth).
